Chosen and Appointed by Christ John 15:16
Jesus said, “You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last.”
This verse reminds us of a powerful truth: our relationship with Jesus began with His love and His choice. Before we ever sought Him, He was reaching out to us. Before we had a plan for our lives, God already had a purpose for us.
Many people struggle with questions like, “Do I matter?” or “Does my life have a purpose?” Jesus answers those questions here. He says, “I chose you.” We are not accidents. We are not forgotten. We are loved, called, and chosen by God.
But Jesus did not choose us simply to be spectators. He appointed us to bear fruit. Spiritual fruit includes love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. It also includes leading others to Christ and being a light in a dark world.
Notice that Jesus speaks about fruit that will last. The things of this world fade away, but the impact we make for God's Kingdom has eternal value. Every act of kindness, every prayer, every word of encouragement, and every person we lead closer to Jesus can produce fruit that remains forever.
Jesus also gives a wonderful promise. He says that when we ask the Father in His name, He will hear us. As we walk in God's purpose and seek His will, we can pray with confidence, knowing that He listens and responds.
Today, remember that you are chosen by Christ. You have been given a purpose. Don't live as though your life has no meaning. Walk in faith, serve others with love, and allow God to produce lasting fruit through you.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank You for choosing me and giving my life purpose. Help me to bear fruit that honors You and blesses others. Use my life for Your glory, and teach me to trust You in prayer every day. Amen.
